There are cases when information is only sent to a single recipient (unicast) as well as situations where information is sent to several recipients at the same time (multicast or […]

Industrial communication and public address systems provide various functions. They propagate life-saving information in dangerous situations, ensure fast and process-related communication and provide various interfaces (see Intercom and PA/GA). Communication procedures can be assigned with different priority levels so that the operators maintain control over the situation. This is the case, when several events occur […]
